Customer Review Summary

Reviewers consistently point to the Pad Thai and Tom Yum Soup as the dishes that keep people coming back, praised repeatedly as balanced, spicy and sour in the right measure. Close behind is the Tiger Cry beef steak, cooked to order and singled out for its tenderness, along with the Mango Sticky Rice, which several describe as the standout way to end a meal despite the sticky rice alone being fairly plain. Other named favorites include the green curry, duck pancakes, chicken satay, and Som Tum salad, with many noting generous portions and family-owned warmth from staff repeatedly described as attentive and welcoming. One diner's experience diverged sharply, finding the Pad Kee Mao overwhelmed by chilli and soy with too few noodles, and a cranberry juice tasted watered down, though even that reviewer returned to praising the Mango Sticky Rice and the sea bass in Pla Nueng Ma-Now. Several reviewers mention arriving without reservations and still getting seated quickly, including one lunchtime walk-in on a Sunday.

    “Absolutely incredible dining experience! The food was exquisite from start to finish. We ordered a selection of starters, and every single one was beautifully presented, fresh, and packed with authentic Thai flavours. The lamb shank was the highlight of the meal—perfectly slow-cooked, incredibly tender, and served with a rich, flavourful sauce that was unforgettable. The Pad See Ew noodles were also outstanding, with the perfect balance of smoky, savoury flavours and cooked to perfection. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout, making us feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere was relaxing and beautifully decorated, creating the perfect setting for a great meal. Every dish arrived promptly and exceeded our expectations. Without a doubt, one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve visited. I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Thai food. Five stars!”

    “Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced, the green curry was rich and creamy with just the right amount of spice, and the spring rolls were crispy and delicious. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere, and everything was served quickly despite being busy. Great value for money, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent Thai food!”

    “This restaurant is quite easy to miss, but what they lack in location they make up for in their food and service. I ordered set menu 1 and it was very filling the foods were full of flavour and I had a great experience dining in here. I’d definitely recommend everyone to come try it out and Im coming back with more people”

    “Met up with a few friends for dinner and, thankfully, we didn't have to wait long to be seated. The restaurant is clean, calm and inviting, making a great first impression as you walk past. To start, I ordered a cranberry juice, but it tasted quite watered down. For my main, I chose the Pad Kee Mao with chicken. Unfortunately, it wasn't a dish I'd order again. The fresh chilli completely overpowered the other flavours, so all I could really taste was heat and soy sauce. For a noodle dish, there were surprisingly few noodles. It came with around five small pieces of chicken, a few strips of what looked like pak choi or green cabbage, red peppers, sliced onions and bean sprouts, but overall it felt lacking in both flavour balance and substance. We also shared the Pla Nueng Ma-Now with coconut rice, which was much better. The sea bass was cooked beautifully, and the tangy sauce paired really well with the fragrant coconut rice. For dessert, we ordered the Thai Pancake with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, along with the Mango Sticky Rice, also served with vanilla ice cream. The Thai Pancake was a light, airy green crêpe filled with a sweet coconut mixture. While the texture was lovely, I found it far too sweet, and the extra whipped cream really wasn't necessary. The real surprise of the evening was the Mango Sticky Rice. On its own, the sticky rice is warm, dense and fairly plain. However, when you combine the sticky rice, fresh mango and vanilla ice cream in one mouthful, it all comes together beautifully. It sounds like an unusual combination, but it really works. The sweetness is well balanced, and it's the perfect way to end the meal without feeling overly rich. Overall, the highlights of our evening were the friendly service and the Mango Sticky Rice dessert. While some of the savoury dishes didn't quite hit the mark for me, I'd happily return just for that dessert.”
